Everyone at some point in life has had a moment where they saw an image of themselves that was not as aesthetically pleasing as they would hope to be. Take a glance to the far left and you will see the picture that smacked me right upside my face in March 2019. 

I was ghastly appalled at what stared back at me. It hadn't gotten this bad already, right? It was just the camera angle? Had nothing to do with poor habits both physically and nutritionally, am I right?

Well, ladies and gents... what stared me back boldly was reality. Choices and habits had caught up to me and I was the only person steering this ship who could work to right the course. Knowledge is power.... one would think. I knew a change had to be made, but what? I let that pondering thought resonate for several more months before taking the first step in the right direction for improvement.

July 3, 2019 I faced one of my worst fears and walked into a place where I knew nobody other than my best friend I had convinced to go with me for the day. I walked into Burn Boot Camp. This place rocked my world. 45 minute HIIT style camps targeting different areas 6 days a week. I signed a contract and for the last 18 months it has been home. I've lost 36lbs, learned a lot more about nutrition, and gained many friends along the way. My Savage Race partners! While I am transitioning into a new phase of life which still involves fitness and wellness, it wont occur inside those walls anymore for the time being. But they are forever my TRIBE! 

Stay tuned for more where I chronical the start until now... step by step and then hang on for the ride!   In the meantime, you can checkout my Instagram from the homepage link which contains images and clips of the journey so far.
